Catching up

Been buying lots of yarn. I have been knitting some too. Almost done with Star Sweater for my 2 y.o. son (Mission Falls pattern and cotton yarn).

Finished a few fruit caps for kids I know. The lovely people who roast our coffee and deliver it had a baby, so I knitted a strawberry cap for their little baby girl. See photos above this post for the finished product.

Been buying some lovely multicolored yarn from Dancing Leaf Farm that I found at my local yarn store, Circles, in Jamaica Plain, MA. Plan to make a shawl with it. I posted a photo above this entry of the lovely yarn.

Also working on Clapotis scarf from Knitty Fall 04 with lovely, shiny, soft yarn from Lorna's Laces.

Visited relatives in Philadelphia over Thanksgiving and made a stop at Sophie's Yarns in Center City. Great place and a nice collection of yarns. I bought some lovely alpaca in a black/brown color combination.
